Lost in the Post Reitrement Shuffle... Eric Hogue for Assembly?
Posted by Aaron Park on January 12, 2008 at 11:25 AM

The latest local buzz has been will Sam Aanestad Run? What about the Doug Ose rumors – does Ose want to run just to try and mess up Rico Oller? Does Ose have a chance in a conservative district like the 4th CD?
Leave us not forget – the “Contingent” Assembly Campaign of one Eric Hogue.
It is no secret that this blogger and Mr. Hogue are close. It is also no secret that as a result of his years on the air in Sacramento that he knows almost everyone in the Capitol.
When I spoke with Eric last night, he reminded me that his campaign is contingent and that support is lining up for him contingent and otherwise…
Senator Jeff Denham publicly endorsed Eric Hogue yesterday and wrote him a check. Audra Strickland, George and Sharon Runner have already publicly endorsed Eric as well.
As best I can tell, support seems to be lining up for Gaines to run for congress as well.
The bottom line – Eric Hogue’s future and Ted Gaines future seems to rest on the shoulders of one man – Ted Gaines himself.
I don’t really think the race is going to amount to much more than Gaines vs. Oller for the 4th Congressional.
The bottom line is that John Doolittle’s retirement has yielded three big winners and one colossal loser:
Winners:
Rico Oller
Ted Gaines
Eric Hogue
Colossal Loser:
Charlie Brown
